  • so your 15 and your daughter is 2, which made you 13 when you got pregnant, no offense but t'is quite young. Well if your mother wont pay or take care, talk to your father about it. If you really want to go to school, contact other family members, aunts, uncles etc. If push comes to shove, adoption is an option.

    Did you ever ask your dad if you could live with him. Also ask your State welfare office for some kind of assistance. There are programs that help people to get daycare assistance while you go to work or school. Hope this helps

    Tell your guidance counselor at school as there are a ton of programs for teenage moms.

    Please don't say you have tried or have done that as, I was a teen mom and there is a TON of crap out there for you and to help you, you just have to get off your butt and look for them.

    some highschools offer daycare for children...also the government has programs so that your child can go to free or low cost daycare while you work or go to school...good luck

    First of all it ISN'T your parents place to take care of your child. If you were responsible enough to have sex then you should be responsible enough to accept the outcomes of sex. If you can't go to school then get your g.e.d. I got mine. I went and took the placement test. (That took a whole 3 hours.) Then I scheduled the date to take the actual test. That took 2 days. You take the first half one day and the second half the following day. You can't make excuses if you aren't trying to better the outcome. I'm sure that you're dad will be willing to watch your child so you can take the exam.....considering you said he already does so.

    Contact the school board and see if there are night classes you can take. That way, maybe your dad can baby-sit a few nights a week.

    Or, see if there are any correspondence classes you can take so that you can learn and study at home, and earn your GED that way.

    You should also ask the school board if there are any school near you that have a program for teen moms. I know that some high schools have a daycare in the school so that teen mom's can still go to school. You could drop your daughter off in the morning just before class and pick her up again after your last class.

    have you tried on-line school-you can work at your own pace.

    if you can, start saving your money and send off for home school supplies. i know you probably want to go back to high school, but you've gotten pretty far behind already, and home school is the best way to catch up. plus, education is the most important thing for you. you can finish home school on your own time and start taking college courses to get ahead. this is probably what is best for you and your baby. and it's very wrong of your mother to keep you from an education because you had a baby. she's doing the opposite of what any caring mother would do. she's setting you up for a life time of failure - you need to take control of your future, for yourself and for that baby.
